Haircuts! Why are the small things so hard?

I'm having a dilemma. Last year my normal hairdressers shut without warning. I found this very difficult but found someone that could come to me. Wasn't the solution I hoped it would be but I was getting my hair cut. I can't stand my hair getting longer by the way - mega sensory issue! I was a bit late booking what should have been my most recent haircut and that hairdresser is now unavailable for reasons that aren't her fault. This means that my hair is now at a really annoying length and I have no idea when this person will be able to cut it. The obvious solution is to go to a salon and ask them to cut it. But I am struggling so much with this concept. To ring or walk through the doors of the salon and speak to people feels too much as it is. To also explain that I struggle with haircuts and get very anxious is another level. To actually have someone else cut my hair fills me with dread. Will they do it right? How much should I tell them to take off when I've left it so late? Etc etc. I can manage to live alone and have a career but getting my haircut is a lifelong problem. Why are the small things so damn difficult?

    They say the devil is in the detail and it's true. It might be because most of us notice the micro detail more than bigger things. I hate going to the hairdresser but she knows and is accommodating.

    Could you book by email, then explain things when they reply. I think it's a question of the salon getting used to you, which is their job ie customer service, so I wouldn't be phased by asking exactly what you need. Meanwhile, is there anyone who could trim the bits that annoy you?
